Four encounters for each of the districts of Ironfire are given here. The encounters will work with the Pathfinder and 5E versions of the supplement.

Stone Pole

1. Two fighters salute each other as seconds stand by and commence a duel. The duel is over quickly, to the disappointment of the watchers, as one of the combatants was easily wounded by the other.
2. A boisterous group of mercenaries who appear to be freshly arrived in town are entering the Ashes.
3. Outside one of the armour sellers in the district, two mercenaries are discussing the merits of different types of armour with the owner, which involves much gesturing as if with weapons.
4. A group of applicants wanting to join the Scarlet Company are shown inside the Scarlet Chevron by one of the Crimson Sergeants to prove their worth.

The Harbour

1. One of the Harbour’s defence ships suddenly surges out of dock, seemingly in a hurry to get out into the water.
2. Outside the Clearinghouse, someone stands on a crate and says they are looking for labourers for the day. There’s a surge as those still waiting for employment push forward.
3. A gnome that is muttering to himself starts unpacking a crate on the docks. Everyone around him starts to back away and give him a clear berth.
4. An argument breaks out between one of the custom agents, a ship’s captain and a merchant who owns a cargo brought in on the ship, over whether or said a cargo has been properly inspected.

Middleshade

1. A new mural is being added to a building by two artists and passers-by stop to take a look at it.
2. A group has assembled outside the Museum of Artistic Industry and a guide is calling them to attention as they are about to be shown around.
3. A loud rumbling noise comes from Irons Academy, loud enough that those who can hear it check to see if anything has happened.
4. A tea shop is setting up a number of tables outside its front door and a few customers are waiting for seats when they are ready.

Ghostborough

1. A huge gout of steam bursts from one of the vents, causing those nearest it to duck out of the way.
2. Wagons that are by Oak Gate are being directed back out of the city again, to the warehouses that stand just outside, as the guard is telling the drivers the goods on them are unsuitable for storing in the city.
3. Two dark shapes are seen down an alley. One looks to be struggling with the other.
4. A barker is advertising the benefits of the inn and brothel they are promoting to any who pass.

The Dragon Forge

1. Red-glowing slag hisses out into the canals of the Slag Runs as engineers open the locks for the stuff expelled from the Forge.
2. A public meeting of the representatives of the city’s districts is being held and spectators are filing into the Castle to watch.
3. Steam loudly whistles from the outbuildings of Smokefield, as excess is vented into the air.
4. Slagbreakers head away from the Slag Runs with cartloads of slag that have been broken up.
